ABOUT US

Described by BBC Introducing Essex as “incredibly innovative and totally mesmerising, an absolute dream” as part of their Sounds of 2021; Neon Gru are an emerging alt-pop band from London with a diverse array of influences and experience. They fuse intricately woven soundscapes with unorthodox rhythms to form rich, progressive electronic productions, and a sound that defies genre boundaries.

The band members, Ny Oh, Ru Lemer and Leon Marley Itzler, are all passionate creatives in their respective fields, having individually worked with artists like Harry Styles, Foals, Dalton Harris, Natalie Merchant, Sam Garrett, Jonathan Wilson and Nile Rodgers. After years of chance meetings in music festival jam tents across the UK, they eventually took the jam back to the studio and emerged with their debut EP “I Am A Bird" in March 2021; a collection of jazz-infused alt-pop anthems laced with an aura of enchanting mystery and inescapable momentum, described as “soft and impeccable” by Visual Atelier 8.

They have most recently released “Buttercup”, a song about bringing you closer to yourself by having a little dance party. Before that they released the disco-funk bop "Elon", a critical take on futurism and space travel - and "Kākāriki Avenue", a playful single reflecting on the artist’s paradox, urging you to embrace unburdened creativity. They're now looking forward to a 2025 filled with festivals, gigs and releases, with plans to continue pushing the boundaries of genre, style and modern home-recording capabilities.
